Application filed May 13, 1915. Serial No. 27,860.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, INA D. KINNE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Portland, in the county of Multomah and State of Oregon, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pan-Scraping Devices; and I do declare the following to. be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same. v i

This invention relates to kitchen utensils and more. particularly to scraping devices for kettles, pans and the like.

The object of the invention isto so coneffectively used for scraping and cleaning not only flat but rounded surfaces and which will readily adjust itself to the position for reception of the hand of the user required to reach any desired portion of the surface represents a perspective vlew of this improved device; Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view thereof; Fig. 3 is a transverse section taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2 with the handle of the device shown upright in full lines and in partially lowered position in dotted lines, the dotted line positions showing the position assumed by the handle when not supported by the hand of the user; and Fig. 4 is a transverse section taken on the line 47 1 of Fig. 2 in a plane at right angles to the section shown in Fig. 3; Fig. 5 is a sectional view showing the scrap scraping position. v

In the embodiment il concave disk 1 is shov suitable material, pre: nickel plated, the edge on its outer face'as sho sharp cutting edge'for 1 surface to be cleaned. I is provided with a plui any desired number of ployed, and which are c suction under the dis] moved over the surface 1 thereby to facilitate i disk as here shown, is trally disposed strap mediately of its endswi 5 desired to form a pc for supporting the ham as shown, is made int segmental openings 6 be site sides thereof with tl of said openings dispose of the strap.

A strap 7 similar t ranged on the inner fa the strap 1 and is here 5 in width to said strap 4 termediately of its leng loop 8 extending trans and arranged to registe the strap 4, thus formii 9 substantially one ha: below the inner face of signed for the recepti loop 11 extending tran: end of the handle. 10 handle 10 is pivotally disk 1. As shown, this its opposite ends to tl disk. 1 by soldering, or any other suitable man The handle 10, as sho metal rod bent IIItGIIIIG' form a hand gripping 1 members 13 and 14 th ward each other and point about midway th are shown united throu of their length by sol united in any. other manner. The free ends to form an elongated end of the handle 10,

transversely of said handle and is mounted in the bearing 9 formed in the straps l and 7. As shown, the free ends of the rods or arms 13 and 14: are united intermediately of the outer member of the loop 11, being here shown connected by a sleeve 15 which may be soldered or connected thereto in any suitable manner and which reinforces these ends and forms a wear plate or sleeve at the connection of the handle with the disk. It will thus" be seen that owing to the fact that the terminals of the members forming the handle are fixedly connected by the sleeve 15, it is necessary in order to insert the journal formed by these connected ends in the bearing 9 that the strap 7 be constructed in the form of a separate member to permit the mounting of the transverse handle loop in said bearing, it being of course understood that the ends are first inserted through the loop 5 of the strap l and the sleeve 15 then engaged with the ends and soldered or otherwise connected thereto and that the strap 7 is then placed in position and the opposed ends thereof secured to the inner face of the disk by soldering or otherwise.

V] hen so connected, the handle and disk will be inseparable, forming substantially a unitary structure, and all danger of the handle being accidentally disconnected from the disk is thereby avoided.

The ends of the loop llrextend over the openings 6 the opposite sides of the strap 4 and the inner wall of said loop is designed to engage the outer face of the disk 1 which is here shown as one end of the strap 4 when the handle is partially lowered, thereby holding said handle'at an angle relatively to the disk and preventing it from falling flat against the disk. When so positioned, the ends of this loop 11 also bear against the outer curved edges of the openings at one end thereof, which assists in supporting the handle in its angular position to facilitate grasping thereof by the user and whereby said disk is substantially rigidly connected with the handle during its movement sidewise in either direction or rearward so that it may be tilted during the cleaning operation and either side edge or its rear edge caused to engage the surface over which it is being scraped for releasing stubborn substances which adhere to said surface. From the above description, it will be obvious that this disk may freely and quickly be passed openings 3 therein tending to break the suction and prevent binding of the disk on the surface over which it is being moved.

7 I claim as my invention A scraping'device comprising a conrexo concave diskhaving a central opening with a' strap extending thereacross and having an outwardly bowed loop therein to form one memberof a handle bearing, a strap arranged on the inner face of said disk below said first mentioned strap in alinement therewith and secured at its opposite ends to the inner face of the disk and having an inwardly bowed loop registering with the loop in the firstmentioned strap to complete the handle bearing, a handle composed of a metal rod bent intermediately of its ends to form. a hand gripping loop and with the side members thereof converging toward each other and contacting from a point near the mid-length thereof toward their free ends and united throughout their contacting portions, the free ends of said rod being bent to form an elongated transversely extending loop, a sleeve connecting the terminals of said bentends, and fixedly connected thereto forming a combined reinforce and wear. plate, the outer side member of said transversely arranged loop being engaged with the bearing formed by said straps with the connecting wearing sleeve arranged in said bearing, the inner wall or side member of said transverse loop being spaced a sufficient distance only from the outer side member to permit the free turning of the outer side member in the bearing, whereby said inner member is adapted to engage the outer face of the disk on the lowering of the handle and thereby hold aid handle at an angle in relation to the disk.

In testimony whereof have hereunto set my hand in presence oftwo subscribing witnesses.
